Up to 90 staff face losing their jobs as Mitchell House care home set to close

STUNNED staff face losing their jobs following the planned closure of a Poole care home this summer.

Mitchell House at Canford Heath, which looks after up to 50 people with dementia, is due to shut after a change in the contract between Borough of Poole and Care UK, which provides the council’s dementia services.

At two meetings held on Thursday, care staff were told the home is due to close this summer. And an online petition calling for it to remain open has already been signed by well over 600 people.

“We are all in quite a lot of shock at the moment,” said a member of staff.

“We were told there is going to be a lot of redundancies.”

She said every member of staff, 80-90 were being made redundant. “We were left wondering how we are going to pay the bills. Who is going to employ that number of people?”

Another staff member in fear of losing her job said: “It’s very upsetting for the residents. It’s a big disruption for them having to move.”

A statement from Care UK said: “At this stage, we can’t say what precisely will happen to team members once the home closes later this year.

“We are a large provider of social care which means that we can offer a range of career opportunities across the country for people who are able to be flexible about where they work.

“And we fully expect that there will be some jobs at our other Poole home – The Potteries.”

The petition calling for the home to remain open will be presented to Care UK and Borough of Poole.

Meeting with residents families were due to be held on Monday.

'Not suitable'

Cllr Karen Rampton, cabinet portfolio holder for health and well-being, Borough of Poole, said: “We are aware that Mitchell House is a popular home amongst both residents and relatives and this is seen through the feedback we have received and the creation of the online petition.

“However, the building at Mitchell House is not suitable for modern dementia care, the rooms are not en-suite, and extensive refurbishment is required which would be extremely costly and is not a long-term solution.

“The decision to close Mitchell House was extremely difficult and our priority is to ensure the impact on residents is minimised.

Up to 90 staff face losing their jobs as Mitchell House care home set to close

Gordon Cann says...7:39am Fri 2 May 14

It is quite clear from this report which Í reasonably assume to be accurate that there is considerable concern felt relatives of dementia patients at Mitchell House as well as concerns by staff who will use we their jobs, Care UK state that there will be some jobs available at the other Poole home -' The Potteries -' some' being the important word; this either means that in future dementia patients displaced from Mitchell House will be supported by fewer staff, or that patients to be moved from Mitchell House will not be provided with alternattve accommodation, when the home closes; Councillor Frampton may well be right in priinciple that Mtichell House is not suitable for modern dementia care. although that view is not shared by , it seems many of the families with relatives st Mitchell House, but the central point surely is will Michell House be closed before or after newer and presumably better dementia care accommodation is available and how does that square with the fear of many present staff that jobs will be lost./ In summary from will Mitchell House be closed before the newer superior accommodation is available ?

I hold no view whether it is the right thing or not to close this home But this is typical sensational Echo reporting ( I will not dignify it with the word "journalism" ) hanging their editorial hat on the fact at 90 jobs are to be lost. There is such a shortage of good carers ate the moment - especially specialist aged carers - that these people will walk into another job tomorrow, with a redundancy package in the bank to boot

Perhaps Poole Council have heard about the windfall of £300k that Bournemouth Council obtained from the sale of Leybourne House!!! Lets hope for Poole council tax payers that the building is put up for sale on the open market unlike their neighbours.

With all due respect to Billy Bumble ( is there a Mrs.Bumble ? )- he diverts the argument away from the central point which relates to the closure of Mitchell House there may be a demand for specialist aged carers, but that doe not address the concerns expressed by relatives and carers at Mitchell House I might add that the expression used by Councillor Rampton' seamless transition' joins the many other bits of bureaucratic jargon that seem to have entered our vocabulary; i certainly doubt if that is how it will be seen by a family with a relative about to lose a place at Mitchell House

there may be care jobs, but these are mainly homecare and if you don't have a car you can't do it! it is not only carers but the manager, admin, domestic staff, kitchen staff and maintenance staff that are going to loose their jobs. the staff do not want redundancy or jobs elsewhere. they want to work in the care home they and their residents and families love. the nearest homes that Care UK have to Poole, besides the Potteries, are Portsmouth then Newbury. Would you be prepared to travel that far for £7 an hour? this is not mainly about the jobs but the fact that this is a care home rated Good by CQC in their last inspection, and for monetary reasons, it is being closed. if it was as bad as they are saying CQC would have closed it in December. I would also like to know how this is saving £46 per week per resident (not much when you work it out that way) when the Borough of Poole are look at paying 50% more for the rooms at The Potteries compared to those at Mitchell House!!!

My mum is in a CARE run dementia home in another area of the UK and I can confirm that they are running their homes on fewer and fewer staff! My Mum's unit has just one carer to look after the needs of up to 10 dementia patients and these are old people with severe dementia! At the weekends when I visit you can find some members of staff run off their feet trying to meet all the needs of the unit they are in charge of! It's frightening and yet this home charges between £800 and £1200 per week (Yes per week!). If I could look after my Mum I would but my own health means that is impossible but I spend many hours worrying about what is going on at Mum's home!

I am very surprised at poole borough announcing this closure just a few weeks before 'dementia awareness week'. Not very well planned. I also know for a fact that poole borough and care uk have signed an agreement that care uk will take in mitchell houses residents and poole borough are going to pay the full £900 per week until each resident passes away. This should kick up a stink because I know that the borough of poole allows alot less for other funded residents in other homes. And any top up has to be paid by families members. Self funding residents at the potteries are paying just £1100 a week. Now don't tell me this isn't all about money. Poole council ARE going to sell this land and grant permission for flats to be built. Of course its all about money. The same as every council in england, cutting costs so they take away the things that are most needed. If you look in poole boroughs website you will see under the dementia needs assessment that the borough are short of dementia beds and specialised dementia homes. So why is it closing? Because they need to cut costs somewhere it seems to be the elderly they are picking on. Do they nor care uk know nothing of 'transfer trauma'. Obviously not. Google it. Some of these families moving their relatives should expect to see their loved ones dementia level get worse and some will probably die. It is no worse than when each of these dementia patients moved out of their own homes. Some people that move from their own home into a care home die within months or sometimes weeks because they go into a state of depression and their health then fails with it. With dementia patients it is worse. I expect with Mitchell houses patients it will be even worse than most if their carers are going with them. And if care uk are educated enough in the care of elderly they should know this. But again like I said, its all about money to both sides I think. I for one have signed the petition and I hope it goes to government who seem to be allowing the care system to be taken over by private companies whi charge over £1000 per week for an individuals care. Most councils will allow around £500 per week for a funded resident so its left up to the family to cough up the rest of the bill. Poole council want more families that need care for a loved one, to have home carers in a couple of times a day but from my experience with my father who had dementia thats not possible. He left the bath running and flooded the flat down stairs and left an unlit gas stove turned on. It's dangerous for a person with dementia to be left to live on their own. Wake up poole council. I'm not surprised people are kicking up a stink.

Cllr Rampton seems to imply that all rooms in all nursing homes need to have en suite bathrooms - or at least should have. What a fantastic aspiration councellor! What planet do you live on though? How many nuring homes have you worked in? The old people you and your uncaring bunch of croonies are currently making homeless actually need a room over their heads at the moment. Toilets are luxuries unfortunately! Get a grip women!

Sensitivity not really your style is it 'beachy head'. 45 vulnerable people about to be made homeless and your answer to the problem is to consider euthanasia. Didn't the nazis have a similar solution? The irony is that many of the people that are being effected by this decision actually fought against ideals like that. Take your debate elsewhere - this is not the time or the place!

For a country that can always afford a WAR this coalition seems hell bent on taking it out once again on the less fortunate members of our society ie Remploy no doubt inspiring this callous short sighted suggestion ( THATS ALL IT IS AT THE MOMENT) from Poole Council bearing in mind that our totally corrupt policy makers insist that we are all going to live longer so there fore sadly will be needing this service more not LESS. So everybody sign the PETITION remind your Councillor and MP who employs them, they have NO money! only custody of ours.

I don't always agree with Beachy Head, but on this occasion he has a valid point. A minefield to be sure, but may be it is time to have a debate on whether or not it should be legal. Your mention of people fighting against the Nazis to stop ideas like that is incorrect. They didn't endorse euthanasia, but did endorse murder, two different things. Personally I would be against it, but would certainly welcome a debate. Nowhere in his post did he advocate putting old people to sleep against their wishes, or those of their family. All he stated was his wish to debate the subject, and his personal choice to end his life on his terms. For those interested, the petition will not work. Poole Council has already earmarked the site. They are also talking to Bournemouth Council about any spare places in Brushett House, and possible building an extension onto that place to increase capacity

So the petition of 20,000 signatures for the hengisbury head train didn't work???I see they are keeping the train now due to the petition. There is strong opposition to the council shutting this care home down especially in the surrounding area. Lim dem area isn't it? Won't be in the next elections. There are a huge amount of signatures on paper petitions too. Maybe it won't help save it but it is turning a lot of people against the council and the council are supposed to be making good decisions to benefit the people of Poole??? Seems the people of poole are being ignored. Weren't dorset countil council given a fund to help with health and social care this year and a huge chunk of that fund was given to poole council. So who is benefitting from the government funding poole council were given? Seems poole council have a lot to think about.

Utter nonsense. Mitchell house has won 2 top awards in the last 3 years. It is closing simply because the council own the land and the building ( care uk are contracted to run mitchell house) and the council want to save money and sell the land. Read the original article. Some of the residents have been shown the potteries and they don't like it because it doesn't feel homely. Too clinical.

I do suspect the Council have no intention of selling the land, I bet either Ragland or PHP are already creating plans for social housing on that site.
